It’s a Cinch!

Hey I finished my first ever knitting project!! I’m still working through the Craftsy Knit Lab course, but I wanted to practice the few things I learned so far before moving forward in the class and trying to learn the other stitches. I found the “It’s a Cinch” headband pattern on Ravelry and thought it would be the perfect project for me to start with.

I’m so glad I attempted a super easy project first! I never got discouraged or overwhelmed with this headband, so Knitting and I are still friends thus far 😉 I’m still pretty proud of myself for FINALLY picking up a pair of knitting needles and giving it a go. I’m in a strange position with knitting after working at a fabric and yarn boutique: I know a lot about needles and yarn, but I never knew what to do with them until recently! It feels good to be able to put the two together and actually make something now.

So what’s next?! Well I definitely need to learn some other stitches, so I better get back to the Craftsy course and then move on to another project!

I expect everyone had some nice time off for the Holidays and enjoyed time with family. I know I did. Vermont is getting pounded with snow right now! It’s putting a serious damper on my ability to take blog photos, but the snowboarding has been awesome so I can’t complain too much. I’m waiting for the weather to break so I can FINALLY take photos of my latest sewing project!! Soon I hope…

A BLOG BY ROCHELLE NEW

Hi there,
I'm Rochelle and this is a candid look at my quest to create a me-made/homemade wardrobe, one t-shirt and knit hat at a time. I live for "secret pajamas" and touching the softest yarn to my face. My spirit animal, and this blog's namesake, is Lucille. We currently reside in the Finger Lakes Region of NY where we spend a lot of time perfecting the art of homebody-ing.
Thanks for stopping by!
